ONE more week!

How far along? 38 weeks, 1 day!
Total weight gain: still the same...pre-pregnancy was 125 and I have ended at 161! I'm pretty proud of myself :)
Maternity clothes? ...are no fun anymore. Nothing fits.
Stretch marks? Still none...and hope I don't find any at the end!
Sleep: not doing much of that at night but still had my 2-hour Sunday nap yesterday!
Best moment this week: I had my very last appointment this morning! We are going in Sunday night at midnight and Blakeley will be here on Monday! I can't believe it AND got to see her this morning during a sonogram to see about how much she'll weigh...looks like 7 lbs. 7 oz.! She kept shaking her head "no" and had her hands in her mouth :) so sweet!
Miss anything? pretty much everything!
Movement: such a wiggle worm :) I'm ready to see her wiggle on the outside!
Food cravings: anything!..especially popsicles!
Gender: Girl!
Labor signs: still some swelling...and I've been cramping pretty regularly.
Belly button in or out? OUT!
Wedding rings on or off? off :( I'm ready to wear them again!
Happy or moody most of the time? just very emotional!
Looking forward to: holding out sweet baby girl this time (hopefully) next week! I am beyond filled with so many emotions! I think she's gonna look just like her daddy :)

Maternity clothes? ...are no fun anymore. Nothing fits.
Stretch marks? Still none.
Sleep: is still good but my hips & shoulders are so sore in the morning
Best moment this week: First, hubby started his new job and he loves it! This makes me so happy :) Second, I had my next to last doctor appt and although I was still just dilated to a 1, she could feel Blakeley's head! Wow, looks like baby is coming SOON!
Miss anything? being able to walk...and not like a penguin!
Movement: seems like she's slowing down a bit seeing as she doesn't have as much room...but, sometimes, she's still having her own little party in there :) I'm ready to see her wiggle on the outside!
Food cravings:anything!
Gender: Girl!
Labor signs: 2 nights last week I experienced some pretty bad contractions...like, cry through them contractions! They went away with a lot of water and laying on my left side.
Belly button in or out? OUT!
Wedding rings on or off? off :( I'm ready to wear them again!
Happy or moody most of the time? so happy!...but kinda moody.
Looking forward to: holding baby girl. It could be any day and we are beyond thrilled! Bags are in the car and we are ready!and, I have my final doctor appt on Monday and we will have a ultrasound to see the weight of Blakeley! ...Maybe next time I blog, she will be here :)
